It was my time to change – THRIVE has given me a new lease of life!

A New Lease of Life

“At 8 years old I developed an ever growing fear of sickness, although I’m not sure what it was that started it exactly. Since then my emetophobia had developed a growing debilitating presence in my everyday life. I developed obsessive cleaning and sanitation habits as I was terrified of getting anything like Norovirus. Through recognizing my career aspirations and ambitions, some significant life changing events (Divorce), battling with Depression in my early 20’s for 18 months and now being a proud mum to my seven year old son meant I couldn’t go on anymore with this phobia it was really ruining my life. It was only after I researched “fear of sickness” online that I realised firslty it had a name “emetophobia” and secondly that I wasn’t alone and thirdly there was a programme called “THRIVE” that could cure me! WOW! So I found an amazing Thrive consultant (Cara Ostryn), who worked with me through the book and the programme and really helped me to understand my inner workings, my belief systems which helped me find that cure. The fantastic thing about Thrive is that YOU can cure yourself, the Thrive book is your anchor along with the consultant but you have to put the effort in and work through the exercises and process process process your mind to make this change.

The Thrive programme has taught me about myself, people have seen such a signifant change in me. As well as curing my phobia, it has given me confidence, a new gravitas in my personal and professional life. It’s a whole new me, and I can’t actually believe a book has done this for me. It has changed my life, it was worth every penny. Im sure like any emetephobe that this review reaches out to, you only need to take 6 weeks of your life after suffering years of misery to cure this debilitating and secret Phobia. Thrive really is a cure. Thank you Cara and Rob.”
